About RRB NTPC (Graduate) — Non-Technical Popular Categories, Graduate Level
The RRB NTPC (Non-Technical Popular Categories) exam is one of Indian Railways' largest recruitment drives, conducted by the Railway Recruitment Boards (RRBs) under the Ministry of Railways. The Graduate-level NTPC recruits for officer-grade and supervisory posts that require a Bachelor's degree, drawing crores of applications across India every cycle.
The Graduate-level cycle (CEN 05/2024) recruits five posts: Chief Commercial cum Ticket Supervisor and Station Master (Pay Level 6), and Goods Train Manager, Junior Account Assistant cum Typist and Senior Clerk cum Typist (Pay Level 5). (Goods Guard was renamed Goods Train Manager.) These are Group C posts with stable pay scales, central government benefits, railway passes for self and family, and career progression into supervisory and officer cadres.
The exam runs in a multi-stage structure — CBT 1 (qualifying), CBT 2 (merit-deciding), a Skill Test or Typing Test for select posts, followed by Document Verification and Medical Examination. Both CBTs are computer-based and use normalisation across shifts. CBT 1 has 100 questions in 90 minutes; CBT 2 has 120 questions in 90 minutes. Negative marking is 1/3 mark per wrong answer in both stages.
